Virals: West Ham ‘keen’ on signing Real Betis forward Nabil Fekir

West Ham are reportedly among the clubs ‘keen’ on signing Real Betis forward Nabil Fekir

The Hammers are believed to be interested in the 28-year-old along with Premier League rivals Everton and Arsenal. 

So nearly a Liverpool player once upon a time, Fekir has continued to shine on the continent. 

According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, as cited by Prem News Centre on Twitter, West Ham are eyeing the Frenchman. 

Capped 25 times by France, Fekir left Lyon for Real Betis in 2019 and has since scored 14 goals and provided 15 assists in 81 appearances. 

This season the talented World Cup-winning ace has netted twice as well as assisting teammates on two occasions in 10 outings. 

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Now valued at £22.5million and under contract in Spain until 2023 (Transfermarkt), Fekir previously held an eye-watering £63million market value – underling his abilities. 

Despite a previously unspecified knee problem putting pay to a big-money Anfield switch, injuries haven’t plagued the Frenchman’s career. 

Perhaps viewed as a candidate to replace Manuel Lanzini in the squad at the London Stadium, Fekir’s versatility would come as a huge boost to David Moyes’ options. 

Boasting a host of strong attacking attributes, age aside this is a deal that would make plenty of sense for the Irons at the right fee.
